Credit card cheques to be banned

Finally something’s been done to stop those annoying and unsolicited credit card cheques coming through your letterbox. The ones that try and tempt you to spend money you can’t afford on things you don’t need, and then pay outrageously high interest rates for the privilege. (They worked the same way as if you'd withdrawn cash on your credit card - with interest charges starting to accrue immediately).

About Me

I'm a Professor of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and Professor of Fashion Psychology at Istanbul Bilgi University. Women's relationship with money is a keen interest of mine, since it is often psychologically and emotionally complex. And fashion interests me because it if so integral to personality and identity.
I teamed up with financial coach Simonne Gnessen to create Sheconomics. I'm also co-founder of the Do Something Different approach to behaviour change, see www.dsd.me or www.karenpine.com.
